Developed the coral end effector motor control subsystem for the 2025 Robot Code project, focusing on reliable hardware actuation and enhanced operational safety. The implementation, committed to the lobstahbots/2025-Robot-Code repository, centered on initializing a SparkMax motor with current limiting, idle mode configuration, and inversion to ensure precise and safe control. Exposed stop and setSpeed methods provided responsive actuation for the end effector, supporting automation reliability and repeatability. Leveraging Java and embedded systems expertise, the work established a robust hardware control target for future integration and testing, laying a foundation for higher-level robotics control and safer workflow automation.
February 2025: Delivered the Coral end effector motor control subsystem for the 2025 Robot Code project, enabling reliable hardware actuation and safer operational modes for the coral end effector. The subsystem initializes a SparkMax motor with current limit, idle mode, and inversion, and exposes stop() and setSpeed() methods for precise control. This work improves automation reliability, repeatability, and safety in the end effector workflow; it lays the groundwork for higher-level control and testing.
